The data for this study were collected on 649 drug users from 27 agencies using nonprobable purposive sampling. The factor structure analysis of BTI-K examined through the confirmatory factor analysis(CFA), exploratory factor analysis(EFA), and comparing models. The range of reliability of BTI-K(7 factors) was .786～.898 indicated that BTI-K has good reliability. The result of CFA identified the BTI-K of 7-factor structure has acceptable construct validity for assessing barriers to treatment among Korean drug users. On the other hand, EFA outputs described 4-factor structure was appropriate. Finally, after comparing competing models, the 7-factor structure was the best model to explain barriers to treatment among Korean drug users. The results indicate that the BTI-K has good reliability and validity, it would be useful measurement to assess the drug abusers’ characteristics in clinical and correctional service settings.
